Orthopaedic surgeon Ray Long blends modern science and the ancient
art of hatha yoga to create an indispensable resource for every
yoga practitioner -- from beginners to experts. A scientific
approach to understanding the practice of hatha yoga: through
full-colour, three-dimensional illustrations of major muscles,
tendons, and ligaments, Ray Long describes the correct positioning
of hatha yoga poses (asanas) and their benefits. Specific
anatomical descriptions highlight which muscles to activate in each
pose, bringing the experience of the pose to new sensory heights. A
novel approach to learning yoga poses: each of the four mat
companions focuses on one type of yoga pose: standing poses,
forward bends and hip openers, back bends and twists, and arm
balances and inversions. The illustrations and descriptions
describe the major movements that enable the poses, how to deepen
the posture, and sequences of muscle activation. The concealed
wire-bound pages make the books perfect mat resources during
practice.
